- A Nigerian man has appreciated the X community (formerly Twitter) after they came through for him and his immediate family with N1.3 million in support
- The civil servant had earlier appealed for support on X after his wife welcomed a set of triplets on July 22
- He had lamented that the economic situation in the country put him in a tight fix and with very little to provide for his wife and children
X users have contributed N1.3 million to a Nigerian couple, the Olumuyiwas, who recently welcomed triplets—two female children and a boy.
This came hours after the man, Olumuyiwa Egunjobi, lamented on X his inability to cater for his wife and the newborns.

Recall that Nigerians on social media had also donated over N15 million to a man whose wife gave birth to quadruplets.
Olumuyiwa's appeal on X which blew up
In a tweet that went viral, Olumuyiwa shared pictures of himself, his wife, and their triplets and revealed that they had been delivered to Sacred Heart Hospital, Lantoro, Abeokuta.
The civil servant added that he already covered extensive hospital bills, medications, and other expenses that arose during their hospital admission.
However, he cannot financially provide for the new mum and the triplets going forward. He humbly appealed for financial assistance and he got it. His first tweet read:
"Dear Fellow Nigerians, "My name is Olumuyiwa. I work with the Federal Civil Service at the Federal Secretariat Complex Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta Ogun State."Recently, my wife gave birth to a beautiful set of triplets - tw.o girls and a boy on July 22, 2024 at the Sacred Heart Hospital..."Olumuyiwa appreciates Nigerians for their financial support
In a follow-up tweet, Olumuyiwa displayed his wife's account balance, showing the N1.3 million they have received so far.
The overjoyed husband appreciated Nigerians for their quick intervention. In his words:
"Within 24 hours, we received a total sum of 1.3M from the Twitter Family."We say a big thank you to everyone who has showed us love through money gifts, congratulatory message and prayers.''Thank you all🙏, God bless."See his tweet below:

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a pregnant lady whose husband used her hospital bills to buy a dog and phone had received millions of naira from kindhearted Nigerians.
After she reached out for aid on X (previously Twitter), she was overwhelmed by the number of donations she received directly into her mobile bank account, eventually reaching a point where she could no longer accept any more help.
In a heartfelt recount, she explained her situation at the hospital, sharing that she needed the assistance because her husband had inappropriately used the money set aside for her medical bills to purchase a dog and a mobile phone instead.
